The Conservation, Food and Health Foundation

Research, conservation, food, and health

The foundation seeks to promote the conservation of natural resources, improve the production and distribution of food, and improve health in the developing world. The foundation helps build capacity within developing countries in its three areas of interest with grants that support research or projects that solve specific problems. The average grant is approximately $20,000. Grants exceeding $25,000 are rarely awarded.

The foundation supports projects that demonstrate strong local leadership, promote professional development in the conservation, agricultural, and health sciences; develop the capacity of local organizations; and address a particular problem in the field. It prefers to support projects addressing under-funded issues and geographic areas.

The foundation’s geographic focus is the developing world. It prefers to support organizations located in developing countries or to developed country organizations whose activities are of direct and immediate benefit to developing countries. The foundation does not consider the states of the former Soviet Union or former Eastern Bloc countries as within its geographic focus.

Grants

The organisation supports non-governmental organizations (NGO), nonprofit organizations, civil society organizations, community-based organizations, colleges, universities and academic institutions.
